Want help? Still need convincing?

In 2015, Sisi Wei,(who's hosted Lightning Talks in the past), encouraged everyone (newbies especially) to pitch a lightning talk, and offered to help coach, prod, brainstorm with, edit, and encourage anyone who needed it. This still applies! If you're interested in pitching and need help coming up with something, read this and send me your thoughts.

After lightning talks are finalized, I also offer to help speakers with honing the structure of their talk, public speaking tips, and general presentation skills. We can even do in-person run-throughs if you'd find it helpful. All of this is optional, but if you're thinking about pitching something, and are hesitant about the public speaking aspect of it, do not let that stop you. I'll be here to help you every step of the way.

Can I pitch a talk if I gave one last year?
